What stuff you don't want to see in BW films? - Page 4

Remix of old songs, remakes of old movies, rape scenes, the whole "ladki says no and the hero still keeps persuing her to name a few.

I don't want to see remakes of songs/films, nudity, rape scenes, nepotism actors/actresses who do not know how to act (especially most ladies kjo launches)

I'm curious to know what age bracket you fit into.

You mentioned Kambakht Ishq was awkward with your family, but that was 11 years ago... so maybe it's time to stop watching films with your "family"?

And let the rest of the adult population of the world be entertained by films which don't exclude kissing, because we don't think it's an abomination.

I don't find watching two people sucking each others faces with their tongues entwined aesthetically pleasing in bollywood movies either. They almost always look like add-ons strictly meant to titillate the viewers instead of portraying expression of love onscreen and that intention makes the whole thing look sleazy to me. India (and the indian subcontinent for that matter) is conservative to a large extent. There are a rare few movies where the build up looks natural and organic, so I don't mind them, but the intention just to get people to come watch the movie for that two minutes of steaminess looks sleazy to me. There's usually a lot of buzz around it during movie promotions, much like girls donning bikini is publicized in every corner.

You know better than to watch HW movies with your parents and family members, so you will never have moments where you wish the earth cracked open and swallowed you alive. It's also culturally in tune with social norms here and there's no shock value in watching people kiss... neither do they portray it that way. But there are times when I do watch Bollywood movies with my family thinking they won't go beyond a certain point. That's the reality of most of the households with 1.5 to second generation immigrant kids.
